Something interesting on Cloudy Nights.

Thread copy from Cloudy Nights forum.
--------------------
>From the site:
FACT: 1 out of 255 women and 1 out of 12 men have some form of color vision deficiency.
Take the online color challenge, based on the official FM100 Hue Test by X-Rite.

0 is a perfect score and the highest is 1241, lower is better.


http://www.xrite.com/custom_page.aspx?PageID=77
-----------------------

This is a hue acuity test to gauge your ability to see colour variations etc...

I took the test and scored 99... Judging by the average results on cloudy nights, this just confirms what I already knew, I'm colour blind.

Hmm.. interesting test. Not bad, but not as good as I should be, doing what I do! LOL!

Your score: 23
Gender: Male
Age range: 40-49
Best score for your gender and age range: 0
Highest score for your gender and age range: 1212

Interesting to see the chart, so that you are aware of where in the spectrum you are a little lacking. Should help with colour manipulation in PS or whatever.
